The Scholar & The Bard [Sequel to Bookworm & Toothless] (Stranger Things AU)

[32]

The alarms start blaring, Jess freezing and looking up.

"No...NO!" She screamed, clutching at her head.

"What the hell?" Bob mutters.

"We're too late," Mike says.

"What?"

"WE'RE TOO LATE!" Mike yelled, grabbing onto Jess and running to the room again.

Jess was hyperventilating, tears forming in her eyes.

She was scratching at her arms, pacing.

"What's going on?"

"We're under attack."

Mike turns to Jess and widens his eyes.

"Jess! Stop!"

He rushes to her and grabs her hands, her shaking her head.

"Mike, it's happening again, it's happening again, I DON'T WANT IT TO HAPPEN AGAIN!!" She cries, looking at him.

"I know, I know but, we'll get out of it, I promise."

He turns and grabs the syringe, turning to Joyce.

"We need to make Will sleep."

"What?"

"He's a spy! If he knows where we are, so does the shadow monster!" Jess exclaimed.

"She's lying!"

"He killed those soldiers! He'll kill us, too!" Mike added.

"They're lying! They're lying! They're lying! They're lying! They're lying!"

Gunshots are being heard, Jess shrieking, the lights flickering on and off.

Mike grabbed her hand, rubbing it to calm her down.

"Those are gunshots!" Bob exclaimed.

"They're lying! They're lying!"

"Okay, Will, Will, listen, listen. Do you know who I am?"

Will stops screaming, looking at her.

"Do you know who I am?"

"Y-You're...You're...You're Mom."

Joyce hesitated before turning to Jess.

"Hold him down."

Jess glared at Will, tears running down as Will hits down on the bed.

"No! No! Let go! No! No! Let me go! Let go! No, let me go!"

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry. I'm so sorry!"

"Let me go! Let me go! Let me go!"

Mike had his hand placed over his ears, watching in shock as his best friend screamed at his sister-like-figure to let him go as Joyce got ready to inject the sedative in his arm.
